Yes, I do think that the caps in here are the key but there is a twist in it. The “formatting “or burning- in of capacious is a polarization of dialectic, with time the dialectic got charged and “sounds” better. Also the dialectic is mechanically stressed and become less “loose”, minimizing the electro-mechanical distortion.  In the past I modified my Milq and made the big B+ caps disconnected when amp is off.  Since the caps are good they then can hold the charge for days. So, disconnected load and bleeder and made the caps to sit with voltage. Then what I want to turn the amp of I bleed the caps while I heat filaments and only then connected the load.  It was slightly better but it was not the same as run the amps. So, what I concluded is that caps, while they are being formatted, want to see the AC (residual ripple). I presume that what when a cap is shorting the residual AC to ground then the dialectic is “shaking” with the AC and hard-bias with DC.  If there is no AC from rectifier then dialectic is bias but with no AC there is no shaking effects and the dialectic is less strongly “oppressed”. It might be a foolish explanation but it is all that I have.
